We are excited to share with you some new updates to Smart Events! We feel like the program is really taking off, and with these new added features, it adds that much more to it as a whole. Check out our updates:

Reporting: Printing off your information about events is now available! You can print it as  a PDF, or to a CSV file which you could then put into Excel or some kind of program similar to that. It’s even customizable, allowing you to specify which information prints off in your report.

Sorting: Dragging and dropping makes this feature simple and easy. In the Edit Event dialog box, you can rearrange the order of your registrant types and add-ons. Just drag and drop to your liking! Reordering the Additional Questions will be in an update in the near future.

Importing: We’ve added the ability for you to import a CSV file  into your Smart Events People database. The option is on the right side of the People tab.

Duplicating: If you have an event that you wish to just duplicate into a whole new event, just use our Duplicate option. Keep in mind that for now, it will NOT duplicate your attached forms, assignments, and registrants. We will be adding the option to have it duplicate the attached forms and assignments in the near future.

Archiving: If you don’t want to see your event on the main Events tab anymore, you can archive it. This will still be accessible but will not show up when you hover over “Events”. This is also how you get rid of an event you don’t want anymore (there is no delete option, just archive).

Paypal Standard: You can now allow people to pay through Paypal. This is an option for you on the Payment Gateway page. You can use it alongside a different payment method, basically allowing your registrants to choose between paying by credit card or by Paypal.

Payment History: We’ve added the ability for you to print a report of all the payments you’ve received. This is found under Settings, and is only accessible by the owner.

Requiring Information: When setting up your event, you can require or simply show certain information, such as gender, address, phone, and birth date. You can even choose to have those options not even show up by hiding them. This is all done in the Edit Event dialog box.

We have also made a few other small graphic updates and fixed a few bugs here and there. We hope you enjoy the latest release! Stay tuned for many more!

We had an amazing time at the Radicalis conference! Thanks for stopping by our booth and getting to know us. In the two short weeks since introducing Smart Events, we’ve been listening to your feedback and looking for ways to make the Smart Events experience even better. So today, we have a few changes we think you’ll love:

New Pricing!

The biggest change is right up front. A brand new, easy-to-understand pricing plan. Unlimited events, $19 a month. If your event has free registration, you can have up to 2,000 registrants for that event, and each registrant over 2,000 is just $1. If you collect a registration fee, each registrant is $1. That’s $1, per registrant, over the lifetime of the event. It’s one-size-fits-all. It’s pay-as-you-go. It’s the best of both worlds.

How about an example? Let’s say your Couples’ Night Out was a smashing success on Valentine’s Day. A record 2,049 lovebirds showed up for a free meal. So your February bill would include an event charge of $49, in addition to the usual $19 monthly subscription fee. Now that’s a cheap date!

Brand new public registration form. We’ve redesigned the event registration form from the ground up. It’s organized, it’s international-friendly and we think it’s prettier as well.

Keep in touch with your registrants. Need to send out an update for your event? Just want to say hello? Narrow down your list using the handy filter, then click one button to compose and send an email. It doesn’t get simpler than that.

Undo a cancellation. In the real world, circumstances change. People change. Hairstyles change. With that in mind, a canceled registration doesn’t have to be permanent. Just click that new “Uncancel” button and change the past.

And those are just the changes you can see. We’ve also been busy behind the scenes, cleaning up, enhancing performance and adding security. Give Smart Events a test drive today. During our grand opening, you won’t pay a thing until the month of April.
